Although the mine has never been found, despite many expeditions.
It is believed that the spirits of people, who've lost their lives in these expeditions, still haunt the mountains. It is also believed that the mine is protected by creatures called Tuar-Tums ("Little People") that live below the mountains in caves and tunnels. Some Apaches believed that the entrance to hell is located in the mountains.

There have been theories that aliens and their wrecked craft were taken to Area 51 for examination and that scientists have managed to set up future meetings in the desert with other alien life-forms. Although none of these theories have been proved to be true. People also speculate that weather control, secret weapons, time travel and teleportation have also being developed in this area.
For years, US govt. denied the existence of Area 51, until December 8, 2013 when President Obama made an offhand comment about Area 51, becoming the first President to publicly acknowledge its existence.
South Atlantic Anomaly
Location: In Atlantic Ocean, around 300 kilometers off the coast of Brazil.
South atlantic anomaly also called Bermuda Triangle in Space, One of the most dangerous areas of radiation ever encountered. It is an area where the Earth's inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the Earth's surface dipping down to an altitude of 200 km (124 mi). This place creates havoc with satellites and space crafts. Astronauts' on the space shuttle complained laptop computers would sometimes crash when they passed through the anomaly.
NASA satellites that travel in this region are shut down, or go into SAFE mode to avoid damage while passing over the Atlantic between Brazil and Africa.
Many of believes that it is the reason behind the crash of Air France flight 447 of June 2009, in which 228 people died.
Lake Anjikuni
Location : Nunavut, Canada.
In early 1930's, a fur trapper named Joe Labelle reported that a village near the lake was abandoned by the villagers. Not even an animal or pet was seen in the village. He looked for some inhabitants, but found none. He went on to check the huts and found each empty, but in a strange way... some had pots of food still hanging above long cold fires; in one hut he found some sealskin clothing for a child that was being mended, the needle and thread still in it as if simply set aside. The houses and stores were open as if that people just got up and went somewhere. People saw strange lights on the surface of the lake water at the time of disappearance.
2 very strange discoveries were also made -
About 100 yards from the village, seven dead dogs were discovered, tied to some tree stumps. And a stone cairn grave had been opened, its stones were re-stacked into two piles and the body inside, was missing.
Later, on examination by experts, it was concluded that dogs had starved to death even though there was plenty of food in the village and that the village had probably been deserted two months previous to Labelle's discovery, towards the start of winter.
Although, why the village was abandoned or where its inhabitants went, has been never determined.
Bridgewater Triangle
Location: Southeastern Massachusetts, USA.
From what we’ve heard, both the paranormal experts and extraterrestrial beings are very fond of the Bridgewater Triangle. Over the course of time, both parties seem to always make on-site appearances. Apparently, this place is the breeding ground for the unexplainable from UFO sightings to spirits, and Bigfoot to strange voices, this place oozes an energy that is unlike any other.
The Nazca Lines
Location: Nazca Dessert, Southern Peru.
Bearing some of the most phenomenal geoglyphs etched on the surface of earth’s crust, between the town of Nazca and Palpa about 700 figures of animals made of geometric shapes and straight lines are visible from the sky. These Nazca Lines date back to about 500 B.C., but no one is certain why the prehistoric Nazca culture went through all the hassle to draw those geoglyphs. Apparently, the complex mazes served as a labyrinth created as a spiritual path.
